I'm going to use the slope formula which is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through
Slope of line PQ
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 - (-7))
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 + 7)
m = (-14)/(2)
m = -7
The slope of line PQ is -7
Slope of RS
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-5))/(-2 - 3)
m = (0 + 5)/(-2 - 3)
m = (5)/(-5)
m = -1
The slope of line RS is -1
Because the slopes are NOT equal (one is -7 and the other is -1), this means the lines are NOT parallel.

Answer: Choice B) No, the lines have unequal slopes
To find the mean you add all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are so in this case 2+3+4+4+6= 19, there are 5 numbers so divide 19/5
In order to figure out what the answer is you would have to divide the number of feet it fell by the time. If you do 35.75 divided by 3.25 it would be 11.
So the answer most likely would be 11
Please correct me if I am wrong
Have a great day!
